The Cobb Homeless Alliance (formally recognized by HUD as the GA-506 Marietta/Cobb Continuum of Care) serves homeless individuals and families throughout Cobb County and its municipalities. The purpose is to promote community wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness; provide funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, and State and local governments to quickly rehouse homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma and dislocation caused to homeless individuals, families, and communities by homelessness; promote access to and effective utilization of mainstream programs by homeless individuals and families; and optimize self-sufficiency among individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
The Center for Family Resources (CFR) serves as the Lead Agency and Collaborative Applicant in Cobb County and has administrative responsibility for the Cobb Homeless Alliance. Appointed as such by the Cobb Homeless Alliance Board, the CFR is the only entity that can apply for a grant from HUD on behalf of the Continuum for the Marietta/Cobb area.
